Support our players taking the knee?

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

Yeah! That daft bint who threw herself under the kings horse made no difference at all. Just an empty gesture. And buggered up a decent race.

She did make a difference, my grandad had a fiver on Anmer to win.

If the players and refs want to do it then it’s up to them but to me all lives matter.

Similar to clapping the NHS on a Thursday night you don’t have to do something indefinitely to make a point.

Personally think the players and officials should park this for a while and move the focus on raising awareness that the game and society in general needs to embrace greater diversity.

Quoted from Humbercod

Wasn’t this just after BLM had run riot in London?  looting shops and attacking police officers? Then finished off with the desecration of one of our greatest war hero’s.

So they decided to protest the attacking of police by...attacking the police?

Interesting approach.

You lost all credibility when you said "daft bint". Nothing to do with irony but you condemn racism by using a sexist remark.

Quoted from psgmariner

For those who think town players should continue taking the knee when do you think the right time for them to stop will be?

Right now. Virtue signalling at its finest and won't achieve a thing. To be labelled being part of the problem if anyone disagrees with taking the knee is laughable. I want it gone from football and any sport for that matter. The BLM are a political movement that has no place in sporting events.

I lost all credibility a long time ago.

The comment was meant to be completely ironic/sarcastic. I condemn sexism as fervently as I condemn racism.

That made me laugh.

Quoted from Hagrid

Completely support. If your offended by players taking a stance against racism then seriously take a look at yourself

This just goes to prove how decisive BLM are.
I have no problems with any initiative to stop racism in sport and support them wholeheartedly but I can't support this in the name of BLM a political group intent on division, the overthrow of capitalism the defunding of the police and open borders.
That's what I call a political group.
What about the player with the Black power salute while others were taking the knee, what a male masturbators.
When we get back in BP I will not boo but I will turn my back.

So to make your opinion known you will exercise your right to demonstrate in a peaceful manner and in return you will expect your protest to be noted and that you won't be persecuted for expressing your right of free speech.

Fancy that.......

Quoted from 3610

It’s not how it was meant. It was meant to be a suggestion they could have been. And if you look at other explosive sports they seem to dominate? It was meant to be a suggestion. Not an actual fact. Deleted anyway.

There is of course something in the fact that black people appear better suited to sports which require explosive power for example. The last white man to win a 100m Olympic gold medal was in 1980, and since then there hasn't been a single white athlete making the 8 man line-up in the final.

Similarly, the last four men's marathon world record holders were not only black but specifically Kenyan. Evidently, genetics plays a big role in athletic capability, or at least at an elite level. There are of course many white men who are more athletic than many black men, just as there are many women who are more athletic than many men.

Is it racist to point this out, even inversely so, that perhaps white people are on average athletically inferior to black people? I don't think it is, if there is strong evidence to back up such a theory.

The problem is that historic prejudices still prevail, often unconsciously, that black people are for instance less intelligent than white people, or more predisposed to commit crime. This, to the very best of my knowledge, has never been robustly backed up with evidence because it isn't true. Of course, there are fewer black people in higher education and senior management positions etc. and a higher percentage of the black population convicted of crimes however much of this is due to present day societal factors brought about through historic stereotyping and economic disadvantages.

These are the things that need to change in order to reach some kind of harmony and equality in our world. Yes, the odd idiot indulging in racist taunts and gestures is moronic and absolutely needs stamping out, but it's the tip of the iceberg really. There's a lot of history to be undone.
